Richarlison's agent makes Everton price tag claim and speaks out on 'flattering' rumours

Richarlison's agent Renato Velasco says his client is priced at over £100m by Everton.

The forward arrived at Goodison Park from Watford last summer for a bumper £35m fee after following manager Marco Silva to Merseyside and scored 14 goals in all competitions for the Blues during his maiden season.

He has since been named in Tite's Brazil squad for the upcoming Copa America tournament on home soil but reports have linked him to top European sides such as Barcelona, Paris Saint Germain and Inter Milan.

"For now, there are no contacts and I do not know if they would be willing to pay what Everton asks for his signature, at least €120m," Velasco was cited as saying.

“Of course, we are flattered by the rumours because Inter is a big club, but I think Everton does not want to sell Richarlison for less than these numbers and our intention is not to leave the Premier League, although we really like the Italian championship. He can play in any league.”

Everton will not entertain offers for their prized asset this summer, however, with Marco Silva saying recently: "We are not thinking of selling him and, second, our fans - I am 100% sure - would not accept this.

"The player is really happy here, he is enjoying every moment here, we are really happy with him and he has many things to keep improving in his game and many things for us to keep working on with him.

"But, we as a club, do not put a price on him, it is important we keep him and all the others too and keep building an identity in our club."
